Title: Improvements in or relating to automatically controlled cooking apparatus
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1963-07-06
Abstract: 1,055,644. Automatic temperature control. ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS CO. July 6, 1963 [July 6, 1962], No. 22896/63. Heading G3R. A temperature control apparatus for cooking an article in an oven comprises a manually settable thermostatic device to control the heating of the oven to maintain a first desired temperature therein and means operable independently of the setting of the thermostatic device and arranged to modify the operation of the device so as to cause the heating of the oven to be controlled to maintain a second desired temperature therein, the means including a temperature responsive element responsive to variations in the internal temperature of the article being cooked. A gas heated oven 20 has its temperature maintained at a desired value e.g. 300 F., by means of a thermostatic device 26 responsive to a bulb 82 in the oven 20, variation in the oven temperature causing expansion or contraction of a bellows 80 so as to operate a lever 66 about its first point 76 thereby opening and closing a valve 92 to control the supply of gas to the heater 24 of the oven. The desired temperature is selectable by manual operation of a knob 28 which adjusts the position of the pivot point 76. A temperature sensitive probe 30 is inserted into the article 22 being cooked, the probe comprising a temperature responsive resistor 142 which is connected in series with the heating element 150 of a thermally operated switch 160, 162. When the internal temperature of the article reaches a given value, e.g. 140 F., the resistance of resistor 142 has decreased to allow sufficient current to flow in the heating element 150 to cause switch 160, 162 to close whereupon a heating element 164 is energized causing a bellows 166 to expand to raise a lever 136. Movement of the end 172 of lever 136 raises the pivot point 76 from the position set by the knob 28 thus modifying the operation of the lever 66 so that the temperature of the oven falls and is maintained at a lower temperature, e.g. 170  F., at which temperature the article is kept warm without further cooking. The oven may be electrically heated in lieu of gas heating if desired. The construction of the device 26 may be as that disclosed in Specification 942, 650.

Abstract: 160,120. Rusdell, W. J. Aug. 4, 1920. Single-acting bucket pumps; single-acting piston pumps; buckets; buffers, springs, and the like; concussion, preventing. - Relates to pistc,n &c. pumps of the kind in which the water column acquires sufficient momentum during the power stroke to continue its movement after the termination of the power stroke and consists in increasing the efficiency of such pumps by inserting, between the driving-member and the piston &c. a connection which yields during the power portion of the stroke so that the piston &c. may move at a speed corresponding to that of the liquid column and independent of that of the driving-member. The yielding connection may consist of one or more metal springs, pneumatic cushions, &c. Fig. 1 shows a bucket pump in which a. spring 4 is placed between a cross-head 6 and the bucket 3. When the cross-head, reciprocated by a rod 9 from a crank &c., is moving at a greater speed than the column of water, the spring 4 yields and stores energy which is returned to the bucket as the cross-head slows down at the end of the power stroke. A spring or other buffer 14 prevents shock when the bucket is forced by the spring 4 up against the collar 11 on the rod 10. The water column may be in continuous movement, drawing water through the bucket during its downward stroke. Fig. 3 shows a similar pump with springs between the the rods 7 and the cross-head 6, between the rod 9 and a second cross-head 8, and between the cross-head 8 and the rods 7.
